What is a SuperConnector?

SuperConnectors are individual employees who foster connections between co-workers, ideas, and ressources. 

By creating shortcuts in organizational networks, SuperConnectors enable opportunities and innovation to flow efficiently across informal hierarchies, making their contributions vital yet often unrecognized and unrewarded.

Research Aims

Understand and elevate SuperConnectors

This research aims to clearly define the characteristics of SuperConnectors and build a strong case for elevating, recognizing, and supporting these unsung heroes within organizations.

Redefine employee impact

Conventional KPIs and Resume formats overlook the social impact of SuperConnectors, resulting in unacknowledged and unrewarded employee efforts.

This is a problem not only for employees, but for organizations seeking their unique skills.

Unio partners with Dr Emily Yarrow from Newcastle University Business School to ensure our SuperConnector research is grounded in rigorous, real-world insights.
